Bobby Womack is now cancer free

This is the kind of news we love reporting: R&B legend Bobby Womack has successfully undergone treatment for colon cancer, according to a post on his Facebook page. Womack was diagnosed with the disease back in March, but a tumor that was recently removed ended up being cancer free. Womack will release his new album, The Bravest Man In The Universe, on June 12.
